Purpose
The purpose of this deliverable is to educate the core project team on the SAP business processes associated with their responsible functional/ technical area on the project.
How should it be produced
The roles and responsibilities of the project team members should be cross-referenced with the SAP course curriculum. The appropriate curriculum paths for the project team members should then be documented based on this cross-reference activity. The project team member responsible for registering team members for their level 2 training courses should schedule the training and update the documented training plan and training budget.
What if it is not done
If project team members do not receive level 2 training prior to blueprinting workshops, or worse yet, receive no training, business blueprint workshops will have to be repeated. Blueprinting workshops rely on project team members having some knowledge of the SAP solution so that a vision of the solution can be determined. Without a basis for understanding the solution, Blueprint workshops lose their effectiveness. Repeating Blueprint workshops results in unnecessary and unplanned additional costs, thus delaying the project timeline.

Level 2 SAP training refers to attending specific courses which provide an education on how to process specific business transactions within a given functional area. It is most beneficial for the core process team to receive Level 2 training before blueprinting begins so they are prepared for business blueprint requirements gathering. Therefore, they can successfully ascertain how their business process requirements can be met by the SAP solution.
